What happened?

I'm running the 23.6.0 docker image for actual-server and am interacting with it via a web browser. I've created a basic test budget in order to better understand how the #template and #cleanup experimental options work. Unfortunately I'm having no success with the cleanup script, as when the "End of month cleanup" option is selected in any given month's drop down list of actions the web browsers console reports "Unknown method: budget/cleanup-goal-template" and the following trace:

Unknown method: budget/cleanup-goal-template

qt @ react-dom.production.min.js:74
$t @ react-dom.production.min.js:73

This appears to happen in Firefox, Chrome and Edge. I'm using a default new budget with the following setup to test:

  • "Bills (Flexible)" has a comment added "#cleanup source"
  • "Savings" has a comment added "#cleanup sink 1"
  • I create a starting balance of 1000 in a test month (e.g. 1st May 2023)
  • I allocate 600 to "Bills (Flexible)"
  • I allocate 300 to "Savings"
  • 100 is left "To Budget"

I was expecting the allocated money in "Bills (Flexible)" plus the unallocated "To Budget" money would have been reallocated to "Savings" but this does not happen as the relevant script has not run.

Thanks!

I am unable to reproduce this. Could you try using the http://actualbudget.netlify.app preview to see if it creates the same error for you?

If I use the link you’ve provided and ask it to create a demo file I also am unable to replicate the issue. The web page shows as “No Server” in the top right, and implementing a similar scheme to the one described in my first post works just as I expected it to.

Does the netlify app use a different version of the code, or is “No Server” mode perhaps different?

I’ve also just connected to my docker actual server from the netlify hosted version. Using exactly the same test budget that fails if I go directly to my server, it works going via the netlify webpage.

The netlify link uses the latest code in the master repository, so it's a little newer than 23.6.0, but not by much.

I would try recreating the docker container using the 'latest' build, and if you still have the same issue, trying the 'edge' build if your comfortable.

Cloning and building the master branch for actual-server did not resolve the problem, but building the edge version did work as expected. Thanks for pointing me in that direction - I assume a future release will include whatever change can be found in edge?

Yes. The edge branch is current with master from the previous day and those changes will be in the next release along with other bug fixes and improvements this month.

I'm happy its working for you!
